chemistry was not chemistrying at all

I know I shouldn't have high expectations for a romantic comedy movie, but this was so bad. Such a waste of potential with such a promising cast.The most importnat problem for me in this move is that the chemistry between Zac and Nicole was no existent. In all of their scenes looked like they were forced to do them and they did them without energy. They couldn't convince me that they were in love, they gave as nothing when we talk about emotion and their facial expression. In some scenes Zac had more chemistry with Joey.The story is not bad at all and it could have been a decent romantic movie but it was wasted due to the lack of chemistry between the leads.

Wasted potential

The idea behind this movie is good BUT there are many issues. The biggest issue is Nicole Kidman. Why was she cast in this role? There is zero chemistry between her and Zac Ephron. The role does not suit her and she is overacting throughout the whole movie. Zac's character asks if she was in kindergarten when she had her daughter, this would be suitable if she looked like a young mum, but she does not. A lot of the time she looks older than she is and quite sickly. There is some major issues with the writing that most likely contributed to the actors looking awkward and leaving the audience with no emotional connection to the characters. This starts at the beginning when they are getting drunk together, the whole scene feels forced.

What were they thinking!

What a cringe-fest of a movie - more plastic here than my local recycling plant !! The main characters are Brooke played by Nicole Kidman who has a very limited range of expressions these days and Chris played by Zac Efron with an equally small range of expression. Its hard to engage with characters that have very little chemistry or personality. Add to that the very dated plot of younger successful self-obsessed man falls for older woman who just happens to be the mother of his young female assistant played with girlish zeal by Joey King.Veteran actor Kathy Bates as Brooke's mother in law does her best given the material she has to work with.The love scenes between Brooke and Chris are cringe-worthy to watch as they both seem so awkward !
